What is Cyber-Belum-Jaya??

Yes.. and once again, we brace ourselves in this so-called high tech place known as Cyberjaya... I am back early from the CNY break.. alone in the midst of a jungle of constructions where entertainment means entertaining yourself.. yet, no one knows why this place is is called Cyberjaya. So, we've decided to name it Cyber-Belum-Jaya ("Cyber-have not-succeeded"). Is this their conspiracy? We wonder. But as far as "we" are concern, we are here to get our degree and get out of here.. "We" are students of MMU, desperate to get out of here for the fact that we are deprived from proper food and entertainment.
When I first arrived to "Cyber-Belum-Jaya", I was amazed by the serenity and beauty of the so-called Cyberjaya. The road was curved into a beautiful landscape and along the sides of the road were decorated with beautiful flowers and palms, enhancing it's beauty. Never had it crossed my mind that it would be a deserted place with a mere population of thousands, with not much food, no proper facilities and no entertainment. One week had passed, and I was still in the hostel, I havent came out to explore the place. Living on the campus grounds was hell for me (I will not get into that part of the detail, however). So, the following week, I was so eager to explore Cyberjaya... a friend took us around.. and to our dismay, Cyberjaya was big enough to be the size of Section 3 (Old Town) in PJ. To make things even more disappointing, we couldnt find anything to eat and sad to say, no entertainment (ok fine, the computers are our only entertainment.. that is why this blog came up in the first place). We found a mall called 'Streetmall'.. hmmm, a micromini mall, so to speak. Only 5 food stalls (only of 3 which are in business), one mini mart, a mini gift shop and a mini bookstore. Are we being pranked? Is this what they call 'Cyberjaya'?? Tonnes of questions ran thru our heads.. tonnes of images of what we expected Cyberjaya to be were contradicting. Thus, Cyberjaya was not meant to be that high-tech and futuristic as it claimed to be. Imagine having to stop the car halfway just to let the cyber-cows pass! Imagine seeing goats and wildboars, iguanas and snakes... all in the vicinity of Cyberjaya! Yes, its true... we saw them ourselves...
.... And that... was 3 years ago, my friends... now, "Cyber-belum-jaya" still holds its status as we still don't see much improvement; technology-wise, food-wise and entertainment-wise... however, over the past 3 years, we've seen changes in the developement of offices, schools and housing areas. Over the past 3 years, we've grown accustom to living in "Cyber-belum-jaya" which became our second home. SO... what happens to us when we need good chinese food and some entertainment? WE travel of course... we'll travel to Dengkil, Serdang, Puchong, Sunway, Subang, PJ, KL... sometimes even out of the borders of Selangor and WP. But we will still come back to "Cyber-belum-jaya"... WHY? Cos we are still studying of course... and some of us are working here... but mainly, its the friendship that we have found here in Cyber-belum-jaya.
So, cheers to "Cyber-belum-jaya", and may it finally be "Cyber-sudah-jaya" ("Cyber-already-succeeded")

p/s: and cheers to all the friends i made in MMU... this one is for you peeps... I'll miss you all when we all grad..
